I would like to know what some of you others use for engine oil? Also I have an M with disk brakes and I have replaced the disks and it still does not have very good brakes. I have also adjusted (I think) any help wouyld be great, as I am just learning.

5W-30 in all my gas tractors. Rotella 15w-40 in the diesels. Never any problems. When you runthem let them get up to operating temp to percolate out moisture.

as far a engine oil; anything slippery and keep it changed. The disk brakes never were any good. Too much bearing surface for the amount of leverage on them.

Disk brakes will outperform band brakes on a M, just keep them adjusted and clean ramps balls and springs you can't leave brakes with no maintance for years and expect them to work.

As far as oil goes, I'll pretty much agree with you, Cowman. Though I wouldn't be using some el cheapo re-refined special or anything like that. He didn't say where he lives, but I'd not be using that 15W-40 year-around if he lives up in the high north climates. It has to flow in the winter as well as the summer. 10W-30 detergent should work just fine. Maybe 10W-40 if the tractor uses oil when it is warmer.

Yup, you hit the nail on the head. Keep it changed. Contaminated oil will cause wear faster than using the wrong oil.

Doug, Disc brakes are a tempermental lot in general. The main things that cause loss of braking power are oil and water. Oil leaking past the bull pinion shaft seals out into and over the discs or water intruding into the housing via the rubber boot on the adjuster bolt are two killers. Over time the large double sided actuators in the middle of the brakes will gum up and not allow the steel balls to work in their ramps. To remedy this, remove adjuster nut and outer housing that covers the brakes. If you find oil inside, replace the seals. Pull the actuator out of the housing and remove the two very short springs holding the halves of the actuator together. Remove the four balls and clean the ramps they ride in. Clean the balls or replace them if they are rough. Lightly coat the balls with lithium grease and reassemble the actuator. Reinstall into the housing after checking the condition of the disc pads. There can be no oil on the discs. If the lands of the actuator, housing cover or backing plate where the discs ride are damaged, pitted, rusted, etc, you should have them dressed at a machine shop. Reassemble the whole assembly back onto the tractor and adjust per the book. Good luck.

Do everything farmer bob said. But as far as the
Disk go you take them down to a reliner and have clutch linning material installed on them in stead
of brake linning material. this won't last as long, but the brakes will be much better, like power brakes, I have done this and it works. good luck Jim Ivens
